Words to Live By
”It is essential that we eat food which gives and maintains life. That same food destroys life. Therefore, to keep this food from destroying our lives, we must protect our lives as well as we possibly can from the destruction of food. If we eat the proper food and eat at the proper time, the food will keep us living a long, long time.
(Elijah Muhammad. How To Eat To Live, Book 2, page 9).
“Real health insurance comes from the diet and eating that which was unclean to eating that which is clean……..”The key is not forcing government to give health care to the people. The key is providing the people with an internal force of enlightenment that allows the people to give basic health needs to themselves and, what the government does is to provide people with health care should they need it. But, if you are clean and you eat the proper foods and you try to take control of your thoughts then you are giving sane, and sanitary conditions to yourself and no matter what the government does or does not do, we provide health to ourselves by what we do.”
(The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. Million Family March, The National Agenda, Public Policy Issues, Analyses, and Programmatic Plan of Action. 2000, page 89).
“Man succeeds because he adjusts his environment to him, not by adjusting himself to the environment.” “The “adjusted” postulate is, indeed, a viciously dangerous one, since it seeks to indoctrinate the individual into the belief that he must be a slave to his environment. The philosophy is dangerous because the people so indoctrinated can be enslaved in that last of all graveyards, a welfare state.”
(L. Ron Hubbard, Self Analysis, 1951/2007. pages 189-190).
“Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and inhumane.”
(Martin Luther King, Jr., speaking before the 2nd National Convention of the Medical Committee for Human Rights. Chicago, Illinois. March 25, 1966).
